Trail Blazers at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 110, Jazz 107

Moneyline

With the Jazz being without their top 2 scorers in Markkanen and Clarkson, I'll back the TRAIL BLAZERS (+105) on the road. Portland recently got back G Malcolm Brogdon and G Scoot Henderson, so that has helped win some games.

Against the spread

TRAIL BLAZERS +1.5 (-110) is the play in this game as Portland could win this game outright. While the Jazz are 7-2 ATS at home, they'll be shorthanded Saturday.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers are 7-4 ATS on the road this season.

Over/Under

UNDER 218.5 (-110) is the lean in this matchup as both teams struggle to shoot the ball efficiently. Both teams are in the bottom 7 of the league when it comes to true-shooting percentage. The Under is 2-0 in the first 2 meetings between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz this season.

Lastly, both teams are 3-7 to the Over in their last 10 games overall.
